I guess they will just put more flock cams on the streets. The law say the government can’t violate your privacy without a warranty, so they are using private companies for that.

Fairly regularly I have people think they recognize me on the street for someone else. I also know my face was scanned when I re-entered the US before. I hope the facial data in their system of me just looking like an average dude has gotten someone out of trouble. Even if it’s not with my face, I hope that’s happening.

The irony of goons covering their faces telling other people facial recognition scans aren’t a big deal.

“Lawmakers”. Heh, what a quaint term now.

Right? More like lawlessnessmakers.

These folks dog walked us straight to fascism, but now that it starts to smell like gasoline they got cold feet these “lawmakers.”

I get it that if the feds ignore the courts, then the court opinion is just a fart in the wind. But the courts can fight back by deputizing an arbitrary size armed militia.

In other words, our courts are not toothless. As far as I know with my so-so knowledge of hitory the courts never had to test their teeth in practice. But they I believe do have a legal framework for in fact enforcing their opinions assuming the will of the people is on their side and assuming they don’t mind for things to get hairy. And yea, it means an armed conflict, if not an all out civil war.
